... structures, as could redundancy in the event of loss of a single organ. However, the two simultaneous inputs may still be beneficial for navigation, even if only one is sufficient. Paired organs could enhance the sensitivity of both chemosensation ( Gomez-Marin et al., 2010 ) and rheosensation, and thereby...

... animals hunt for similar prey in similar habitats while using an entirely different array of sensors and behavioral strategies. Although investigators rarely examine the impact of water flow on olfactory navigation, studies of gastropod chemosensation have been a productive area of research for more than...
